My opinion has been, for the last few years, to vacate the Middle East entirely - withdraw all personnel and cut all financial ties. Eliminate any dependence on their crude and force them to cut deals with the Chinese. Let them be China's problem. When they try to pull the same shit they do with us with China, the Chicoms won't hold back and don't observe the Geneva Convention. Those fuckers would either be speaking Mandarin or be piles of Ash. They would cry out for help, and we'd turn our back on them. Fuck them all to hell
